I hope Tom Daley sues the BBC for that waxwork face of him #traitors

The nonce formerly known as Prince.

Some of the episodes were exceptional (no, not that one) but I don’t think I ever got over the hideous editing out of ‘Push the Button’ by the Sugababes on the Jukebox in Space Babies. A decision that I am, completely unfounded, blaming on Disney.

But I am in a privileged position to already love the show so I can be on the ‘we adore our low budget sci fi drama with heart’.

I think he genuinely felt it was the best way for the show to survive long term. But if you compare the 60th specials and the two NG series (with -I presume- more Disney involvement in the latter), I’m glad they’re gone too.

The BBC can only present any political issues as ‘a row’.

Amazing how quickly they can crumble under a bit of scrutiny.
Note to government: APPLY THE SCRUTINY.

There was nothing of note about the referee’s performance, for either team. Enjoy being nailed on favourites for the title rather than trying to litigate unfounded conspiracies.

I assume this is parody?
Incredible commitment to the bit.

I do think this sort of open, gutter racism becoming normal enough that they feel comfortable saying it on TV is probably the most damning indictment of the last 5 years.

West Ham are cooked.

I hear Amol Rajan is available.

Amazed Daly is leaving, she's not a great presenter and doesn't exactly have loads of other work...unlike Claudia.

Quite, I think the lack of financial incentive has also delayed (stopped?) the Traitors turning on each other.

No 10 had a real chance post (excellent) conferance speech to reset the narrative and give a focus to the govt. It had activists, MPs etc ready to go on it.

And since then we've... had crickets on that theme and back to this shit.

Give it time, and what? He’s going to adopt the policy he explicitly caused racist?
Criticise Labour & Starmer by all means but don’t lose use of basic critical thinking because ‘they’re all the same’ leads to a Farage govt when it will become clear they’re not all the fucking same.

The Labour Leader literally called Reforms’s similar policy racist. Grumble, understandably, about the actions of this govt but they’re nowhere near comparable to this.

All it needed was £5m more a few weeks earlier and he’d be one of the first names on their team sheet. They tried to be too clever.

I disagree, I think he did his best to let it flow even when it was physical- only real disruption to the pace was endless VAR checks

Needed to get to halftime at 0-1 and give Glasner a chance to implement a solution as they’re swamping us on the ball. Long way back now.

I think, understandably, being very sensitive to any accusations of anti-semitism is a key part in this and can’t be overlooked.

Ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a terrible decision – and a depressing one | Barney Ronay The idea that barring the Israeli club’s supporters from Villa Park will de-escalate a volatile situation just doesn’t stand up

This is outstanding by Barney Roney. Ive been thinking about the issues all day and hes basically summed up where ai come from

CELIA IMRIE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE #CelebrityTraitors

At least they got the shower scene in first!

Look, you can't be a frontline social care worker unless you can explain what the dagger in Macbeth is a metaphor for. I don't make the rules.

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man

It feels like something pretty dark is happening in this country right now.

Absolutely, hopefully Nketiah’s recent form allows a bit more rotation even if this game isn’t perfect for him.

Mateta finally got his France call up in the worst form he’s been in for 18 months in front of goal.

Pressure will be added by such a strong statement from the Culture Secretary too.
Lols, jokes.
